A host of jewellery advice has been issued for consumers to make sure their prized possessions are kept safe while they are away.

Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company argues that consumers should try not to hide their jewellery in obvious places such as jewellery boxes or dressing table drawers.

Instead the firm recommends people invest in an in-home safe, place infrequently worn jewellery in a bank safety deposit box and make sure the items are properly insured.

The firm is reportedly the only nationwide insurer that specialises in protecting jewellery businesses and individuals' personal jewellery and at present insures $1.5 billion of individuals' jewellery and more than 10,000 jewellery businesses.

More advice is offered on the company's website, along with other tips to help protect the home whilst on holiday.
